Annually the Department treats 7,500 outpatients and provides 3,500 procedures on head and spine in adults and children.

A safety and effective treatment is ensured by minimally invasive surgery combined with the latest techniques, such as intraoperative CT- and MRI-assisted imaging with neuronavigation, ultrasound and fluorescent labeling of tumors.
